A Grieving Mother Enters a Multiverse of Mayhem in New 'Redux Redux' Trailer

5 days ago 12

A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Revenge is on repeat in Redux Redux, a new genre-bending science fiction action thriller. Michaela McManus plays a grieving mother who won't let space or time stand in her way as she seeks revenge on her daughter's killers. Collider is thrilled to bring you an exclusive first look at the trailer and poster for Redux Redux, which will premiere in theaters on February 20, 2026.

In our exclusive trailer, McManus (9-1-1: Lone Star) plays Irene Kelly, a woman still grieving for her kidnapped and murdered daughter. She's dealing with her issues by going on a road trip — not from city to city, or even state to state, but universe to universe, searching for one where her daughter escaped her tragic fate via a coffin-like device that allows her to roam the multiverse. When she invariably finds that she's too late to save her daughter, she enacts her bloody revenge on the murderer (Jeremy Holm, House of Cards)...over and over and over again. Will she ever arrive in another world in time to save her daughter, or is she doomed to repeat this cycle of vengeance for all eternity? You'll have to find out for yourself when Redux Redux hits theaters next month, courtesy of Saban Films.

Who Are the Creatives Behind 'Redux Redux'?

Redux Redux boasts an impressive cast. The film also stars Jim Cummings, the indie film-maker behind Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow, who recently starred in The Last Stop in Yuma County; Grace Van Dien, who played the ill-fated Chrissy Cunningham on Stranger Things and recently played the lead in the body horror science fiction film The Fix; Taylor Misiak, a regular on FX's Dave who currently stars as Denis Leary's daughter on the Fox sitcom Going Dutch; and newcomer Stella Marcus. The film was written and directed by sibling filmmakers Kevin and Matthew McManus (who are also the brothers of star Michaela McManus). The duo previously wrote and directed the films Funeral Kings and The Block Island Sound, and also worked on the TV series American Vandal and Cobra Kai.

Redux Redux made its festival debut at South by Southwest last spring and has proved to be a hit with critics. It currently holds a 97% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, the McManus brothers likened the film to both The Terminator and the low-fi revenge thriller Blue Ruin.

Redux Redux will premiere in theaters on February 20. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
